Solve the system using elimination.

Mathematics
1 answer:
expeople1 [14]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(- 9, - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 4y = 9 → (1)

- 3x + 2y = 9 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) will eliminate the term in x

(1) + (2) term by term

(3x - 3x) + (- 4y + 2y) = (9 + 9)

0 - 2y = 18

- 2y = 18 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = - 9

Substitute y = - 9 into (1) or (2) and evaluate for x

(1) → 3x + 36 = 9 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 9

Solution is (- 9, - 9)

the function f(x) = –x2 − 2x 15 is shown on the graph. what are the domain and range of the function? the domain is all real num
VMariaS [17]
-x^2 - 2x + 15 in vertex form is -(x^2 + 2x - 15) = -(x^2 + 2x + 1 - 16) = -(x + 1)^2 + 16

Therefore, domain is all real numbers and range is {y|y ≤ 16}.
